Welcome to Burnt Hills Lodge & Cottages!

Open since 1948, we are a privately owned lakeside family and fishing resort nestled on a small peninsular in fishing and cottage country north of Kingston, Ontario, Canada, not far from Seeley’s Bay.

The lodge and cottages are located on the natural shoreline of Dog Lake, one of Canada’s finest fishing waters producing trophy bass, northern pike, smallmouth and largemouth bass, bullhead catfish, lake trout, perch and crappie.

Dog Lake is part of the Rideau Canal System, with miles of waterways for you to explore and opportunities for all kinds of water-based fun.

Great Fishing!   Affordable prices!  Spectacular views!

About

On the shores of Dog Lake in the Rideau Lakes, Ontario, Burnt Hills Lodge & Cottages offers affordable cottage rental,  with two and three bedroom housekeeping cottages.

We have a boat launch, docks, a fish cleaning station, outside electrical plugs (for boat batteries), rental of fishing boats, motors and a paddle boat. You are also welcome to bring your own water sport toys and “make waves”!

There is lake swimming off the dock and and a public sandy beach close by. From our docks you can set out to explore the waterways in search of many species of fish.

Our shoreline is home to a variety of wildlife including blue heron, beavers, turtles and loons among the reeds & cattails.

Everything’s more fun when you just add water!

 

We are located just a short drive from the quaint village of Seeley’s Bay, on the heritage Rideau Waterway, where you can find bait and tackle, propane gas, food (including groceries from Sweets’ Freshmart, ice-cream at Nest Egg gift shop, locally roasted coffee from SHaBean and artisan chocolates from Ridgeway Confectionary), ‘a little bit of everything’ from Main Street Hardware, and more.

Experience Dog Lake on the Rideau Canal System, where everyone has more fun!

The waters of Dog Lake are one of Eastern Ontario’s best-kept secrets.

Family fun at Burnt Hills Lodge & Cottages

The area is well suited for boating, fishing and water sports on the natural shoreline of Dog Lake which is part of the historic Rideau Canal System. This National historic waterway is on 203 kilometres (126 miles) of a Canadian Heritage River.  You can navigate through Dog Lake’s many connecting rivers, lakes, locks and streams, all of which offer peaceful surroundings brimming with some of the most desirable sport-fish and a strong fish population.

This is one of the premier lakes in Ontario for producing trophy bass and, despite the outstanding fishing, the waters receive relatively light angling pressure.

We encourage catch and release.

 

Great fishing begins with Burnt Hills Lodge & Cottages!
